Dating as a man: It’s like getting a job.
All of the similarities that getting a job has to dating as a man.
My initial approach is the application. Be spontaneous. Be confident. Be positive. Hand in the resume. You are free to submit, but acceptance isn’t guaranteed: You cannot be entitled to it. Understand that this experience is not about you but what they seek.
The work you do before your submission determines your chance of success. You need to put in the work. Do you have enough experience? Do you have people who can vouch for you? Most importantly, are you attractive enough? They will ask for the world but get what they can afford.
It helps to be born into a supportive, wealthy family. It helps to be tall. It helps to be part of the majority demographic. These are things you cannot control. Remember that your success does not lie in being the best, but only better than the competition. But don’t forget that the world isn’t fair: Some candidates have an easier time than others.
Your interview process depends on the role you are applying for and how many other applications exist. They have to weed out the extras somehow: As a rule of thumb, where there are many applications lies many interviews. But this doesn’t mean the worst ones won’t be picky.
